DISPLAY Application filed Jul 26,

The invention relates to display cartons and its object is to provide a simple and cheap carton in which. to enclose-"articles of various kinds, the cover for which may also serve as a means by which to support the receptacle in inclined position.

The invention consists of an open top receptacle and a cover therefor attached to the bottom of the receptacle and foldable over and onto the receptacle or under the same to support it, -opposite sides of the cover-being diagonally foldable to cause the top of the cover to incline in the supporting position of the cover.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of the carton in closed condition; Fig. 2 a cross-sectional view on line :-2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 a plan view of the carton .in open condition; Fig. 4: a side elerational view of the same, and Fig. 5 an ex-, aggerated side elevational view of the carton in display condition.

In the illustrative embodiment'of the invention, the receptacle portion 1 of the carton consists of a bottom 2 and integral side walls 3, 4, 5 and 6, the walls being connected at the corners in suitable manner, such as by the tapes 7 A The cover ortion 8 consists of a top 9 and three w'al s 10, 11 and 12. The forward ends of the walls 11 and 12 are suitably secured to the wall 10 as by the tapes 13. Each wall 11 and 12 is cut-scored on its outer side from the upper front corner toward'the 10wer rear corner, as shown at 14'. The top. is extended beyond the inneror rear ends of the walls 11 and 12, the extension 15 being suitably secured to the lower face of thebottom2 of the receptacle. The extension is scored transversely at the ends of the walls 1,]. and 12, as indicated at 16, and also adjacent to the wall 6 of the receptacle so that itwill fold upwardl on the latter scoring 5 and the cover will oldon the scoring 16 over the top of the receptacle and it may be,

ner face of the wall 6 of the receptacle and v to the lower face of .the top of the cover, the panel being scored transversely, if necessary, in the vicinity of its middle portion so that it will fold at said point when the-cover is closed on the receptacle, as shown in Fig. 2.

\ When the cover is dis osed on the receptacle the walls 10, '11 and 12 contact with or oppose the walls 3, 4 and 5, and the extension scorings' 14 and the triangular walls now' formed support the receptacle in inclined po-.

sition. The panel 17 is drawn tight by the folding of the coverunder the extension 15 so that the advertising matter imprinted or otherwise placed on the panel is in plain View and attracts attention.

What I claim is: 1. A display carton consisting of a receptacle portion and a cover portion having 1ts top extended and secured to the bottom of the receptacle, a display panel secured to one wall of the receptacle and to the said top, and the cover being foldable on the said extension either over and onto the receptacle or under the receptacle to support it.
